Description

 							
  On May 24, 1869,
Powell, an ambitious, autocratic, one-armed Civil War veteran and amateur scientist, and a casually recruited crew of
nine--without a lick of white water experience--embarked from an obscure railroad stop in the Wyoming Territory to
travel through a region "scarcely better known than Atlantis." Ninety-nine days, 1,000 miles and nearly 500 rapids
later, six of the men came ashore in Arizona--the first humans to run the waters of the Grand Canyon. Dolnick tells this
story of courage, naiveté, hardship, and petty squabbling simply and authoritatively using entries from the men's
journals, deft overviews (we always know where we are), and short science, history, and psychology lessons, as well as
the prodigious knowledge of present-day river runners and his own first-hand observations. His prose carries the day:
Powell looks like a "stick of beef jerky adorned with whiskers," the boats are "walnut shells," which in rapids are
little better than "ladybugs caught in a hose's blast" or "drunks trying to negotiate a revolving door," while the river
is a "taunting bully," a "colossal mugger," a "sumo wrestler smothering a kitten," and a notable rock formation looks
like what might happen if "Edward Gorey had designed the Bat Cave."
